Draftbuzz if a good site but their rankings are all over the place IMO.

I agree, Draftek the same, but it's still way early, most are using 2023 scouting ranks at this juncture.

There is no reason we can’t improve our defensive line in this draft. Good defensive tackles available in the first 50 selections. If the board falls in s certain way I would consider double dipping.

I can think of one reason. Our "general manager"

I think Walker it too low and Ole too high

I don’t know about you guys but I’ve had enough Michigan D-line busts.

Cannot scout the helmet. The high Michigan prospects actually have been good, it's those late 1st rounders that we have been burned by. They also did change their DC's this yr.

The "fall" of Walker is interesting.
Doesn't mean much now, and he can easily jump up to #1 at the combine.

 

[DasTex]

Dallas needs to come out of the draft with 2 DT at the very least - 1 being a high draft pick. There is limited FA's and your best DT is a FA

Is he significantly better than Sweat was last year who went #38? I think the league is just devaluing the bigger DT’s that aren’t great pass rush threats.

Also doesn’t help that Walker’s production has fallen off a cliff this year, 4 TFL’s and 1 sack isn’t going to push him up draft boards.

Most casual fans look at sack totals and assume elite prospect.

It doesn’t work that way…

Yea Taco and Mazi have ruined the blue and maize for me.

I think we all agree, but doesn't mean a top prospect from there is going to bust. Just look at the Lions Hutch for example.

Mason Graham is closer to Hutchinson than he is to Taco and Mazi - kid is talented. Probably a very small tick below Quinnen Williams and Jalen Carter when they came out.

Sweat is currently in seventh place for RDPOY contention.

This year he is pretty much the only threat on the Kentucky D line so he is always double teamed. Which is good as since its likely Grant will be out of reach we can maybe get him in the second round

I like Grant and Walker as targets in the 2nd. Loaded class and someone will fall.
